It has been a practice since independance of India, that from offering tea in lieu of favours done to somebody, it has come to offering some money. In earlier days people used to make the offerings out of their own free will. This was a part of social courtsey. But now it has become customary, rather mendatory to offer money.
Anna Hazare, the veteran activist is observing this and similar malpractices in the society for a long time. He was very well aware that the common man is suffering due to this. He formed a team of like minded and wise people like Mr. Kejriwal,Ms. Kiran Bedi, Renowned advocates The Bhushans, both father and son. Annaji started a social movement.
He is a true follower of Gandhiji. He does not have any taint on his image. He knows very well that in order to achieve a great objective the path of Ahimsa is the only path to tread on. Nobody had imagined that this movement will attract the entire India. This reflects that the nation is terribly anguished by currupt practices all over the country. More so the recent revelatios of alleged misuse of a huge amount of public money by certain politicians, added fuel to the fire of rage.
Annaji is on fast. Nobody could imagine that this movement would gather such an overwhelming responce. It is rather astonishing to see that the entire movement is non violent.The forces that are resisting the Jan loke Pal Bill, should realise that it is the peoples mendate. Sooner or later the bill will have to be introduced. The Anna team knows that mere introduction of the bill is not going be enough. Its implementation is eqally important.

The bills will not be effective unless the people enforce it in their day to day practice.Anna's fast is crossing the eight day. His urine and blood are showing ketone bodies.This is alrming situation. May good sense prevail. The Govt. will have to take concrete and sincere efforts to deal with the situation speedily and effectively,lest it is too late and people's movement take an ugly turn.
I prey for Anna's long life.
